What are the cost advantages of polypropylene polypropylene filament compared with other fibers?
Compared with other fibers, ppolypropylene polypropylene filament has the following advantages in cost:
Low raw material cost
A wide range of sources: polypropylene polypropylene filament to petroleum refining by-product propylene as raw materials, oil resources are rich, propylene as a by-product, the supply is relatively sufficient, the price is relatively stable, for polypropylene polypropylene filament low-cost production provides the basis.
Compared with natural fibers such as wool and silk, polypropylene fiber does not need to raise animals or grow plants, and there is no breeding cost, planting cost and related human costs. Compared with natural fibers such as cotton and hemp, there is no need to invest in the cost of planting, irrigation, harvesting and other links.
Compared with man-made fibers such as viscose fibers, which require natural cellulose as raw materials and are made of complex chemical treatment, the raw material acquisition and processing of polypropylene polypropylene fibers are relatively simple and direct, avoiding the cost increase caused by the complex raw material treatment process.
Low production process cost
Simple process: polypropylene general filament is generally produced by polymerization, melt spinning and other processes, and the production process is relatively simple.
High production efficiency: the simple production process makes the production cycle shorter, the production efficiency is higher, large-scale continuous production can be achieved, and the output per unit time is high, so that the equipment depreciation and labor costs per unit of product are lower.
Less energy consumption: compared with some special conditions such as high temperature, high pressure and high humidity in the production process, or the fiber production that requires a large amount of energy input such as water, electricity and gas, the energy consumption in the production process of polypropylene polypropylene filament is relatively low, which helps to reduce costs.
The comprehensive use cost is low
Density advantage: The density of polypropylene filament is only 0.91g/cm3, which is lighter in common fibers. In some applications that require weight, such as making tents, bags, etc., the use of polypropylene polypropylene filament can reduce the amount of material, thereby reducing costs.
Performance advantage: polypropylene general filament has high strength, good wear resistance and long service life. In some areas that require long-term use and have requirements for durability, such as industrial fabrics, geotextiles, etc., although the initial procurement cost of polypropylene polypropylene filament may be little different from other fibers, due to its long service life, the comprehensive use cost is lower.
